NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: 
Office of Management and Budget Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of the Office of Management and Budget review of 
information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted 
to OMB for review the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35).

    1. Type of submission, new revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of information collection: 10 CFR 50, Revision of 
Appendix J, ``Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-
Cooled Power Reactors.''
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the data collection is required: Licensees will be 
required to keep an on-site implementation plan with records of 
analyses to justify their performance-based test programs and to 
monitor for effectiveness.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Commercial power 
reactor licensees.
    6. Estimate of the number of responses: This rulemaking would 
eliminate about 33 responses annually.
    7. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: Net burden reduction as follows: 
4,583 hours per year for all power reactor licensees, including those 
facilities choosing the proposed option, for an average of about 42 
hours per reactor licensee per year.
    8. An indication of whether Section 3504(h), Pub L. 96-511 applies: 
Applicable
    9. Abstract: The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to 
reduce the frequency of containment structure leak rate testing. This 
rulemaking allows power reactor licensees to adopt Option B of Appendix 
J which (a) decreases the frequency of containment structure integrated 
leak testing (Type A), (b) provides an option to licensees for 
establishing Type B and C local leak test frequencies based on the 
performance history of the components (which is expected to result in a 
decrease in testing frequency for a majority of the components), (c) 
and eliminates the need for reporting test results to the NRC. The 
revised Appendix J requires [[Page 9412]] licensees to develop an 
implementation plan with supporting analyses and justifications and to 
notify NRC of implementation of that plan prior to establishing a 
performance-based leak test program.
    Copies of the submittal may be inspected or obtained for a fee from 
the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Lower Level, 
Washington, DC 20037.
    Comments and questions can be directed by mail to the OMB reviewer: 
Troy Hillier, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (3150-0011), 
NEOB-10202, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
    Comments may also be communicated by telephone at (202) 395-3085.
    The NRC Clearance Officer is Brenda Jo Shelton, (301) 415-7233.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of February, 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Gerald F. Cranford,
Designated Senior Official for Information Resources Management.
